What's the Division Property of Inequality?

What is the Division Property of Inequality?

Summary

  1. 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
  2. To avoid dividing by zero, 'c' cannot equal zero
  3. 'c > 0' means 'c' is a positive number
  4. We divide by 'c' as a way of showing how the Division Property of Inequality works
  5. 'c < 0' means 'c' is a negative number

Notes

    1. 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
    2. 'c' must not be zero in order to avoid any divisions by zero!
    1. 'c' must not be zero in order to avoid any divisions by zero!
    2. 'c is GREATER THAN zero' is a fancy way of saying 'c' is a positive number
    3. 'c is LESS THAN zero' is a fancy way of saying 'c' is a negative number
    1. 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
    1. What is done to one side of the inequality must be done to the other side!
    1. 'a' and 'b' are just variables representing numbers here
    1. 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
    1. 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
    1. Dividing by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality symbol
    1. 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
    1. You only need to reverse the direction of the symbol if what you are dividing by is negative
